    Windows "Away Mode" is not working


    Hello,

    I'm trying to make "Away mode" to work in windows 10.
    I already followed the Tutorial, which explains how to add the "Allow Away Mode Policy".
    I enabled it.

    Also under Multimedia settings --> when sharing media , i chose "allow the computer to enter away mode" .

    When i stream or share media from this dekstop to another desktop, it will not enter "Away mode" .
    it just keep fully awake.
    My Desktop is also set to go to regular sleep after 40 minutes, so after it no longer streams or share files
    with other devices, it goes immediately to sleep. It's not even reset the sleep timer and wait 40 minutes
    before it goes to full sleep mode.

    How the "away mode" is working? what trigger it?

    Thank you.

    :)
